CCCC Workshop Louisville, KY, March 2010

Digital Media and Learning in a Social World: Student Voices and Sites of Production

CC License by fugutabetai_shyashin

Twenty (or so) media-rich assignments will be presented in a highly interactive poster format in Louisville. They are collected here so that others can explore these assignments and approaches. Digital interventions into all pedagogical areas of English studies are not likely to abate in the near future (Berger, CCCC, Cope and Kalantzis, Gee, George, Graff, Kress, NCTE, Selfe, Sirc, Wysocki). Perhaps that is why collections like Technological Ecologies and Sustainability, seem so timely (DeVoss, McKee, & Selfe, 2009). We need to take opportunities to think carefully about sustainable media-rich pedagogies.This workshop and site offer one such opportunity. Take time to interact virtually with a substantial number of teachers and students who have worked through and reflected on media assignments. Through the comments at the top of each assignment page, we will be able to continue to talk critically and practically about how media-rich assignments provide communicative affordances of value to 21st century students.
